Mandi Ahmedgarh, February 26
Followers of Dera Sacha Sauda briefly blocked roads to protest Saturday’s murder of a ‘premi’ (the name given to followers of the sect) and his son on Sunday, as security was heightened at several places.
This came after local leaders of the sect held a meeting.
Political wing of the sect is still consulting the sect’s headquarters in Sirsa to decide the next course of action, sources said. The sect has decided against cremating the bodies until police book some suspects.
Sat Pal Sharma (72) and his son Ramesh Kumar Sharma (40), who ran the sect’s canteen, were fatally shot at Naam Charcha Ghar in Jagera village on the Ludhiana-Malerkotla road.
